HAIR NET.

Application filed July 10,

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MORTON A. OPPEN- HEIMER, a citizen. of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphiaand State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful linprovements in Hair Nets, of which the following is a specification.

The invent-ion relates to hair nets de-- signed to neatly confine the hair of the wearers thereof and has for its object to provide a net of that character which is peculiarly constructed to adapt the same to effective use without the need of securii means such as hairpins and the like, and particularly over bobbed hair of the various styles now popular.

lVith the above and other objects in view that will hereinafter appear the invention further resides in the novel details of construction fully described in the following detailed description, particularly pointed out in the appended claim and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which The figure illustrates. in side elevation. a head. the hair of which is of one of the bobbed styles and confined in a net constructed in accordance with the invention.

In carrying out the invention the strands of the net are woven tied or connected. single or double into meshes forming a fabric body 1 of a substantial skull cap shape of the general contour of the head for more or less closely confining the hair thereof.

The edges of the cap are close-mesh formed to restrict the opening into the cap body to effect a holding-on of the net without the aid of hairpins or other securing-3; means.

In the illustration of the drawing the edge of the net extending around the front from ear toear ap )ronimately is close-meshed as at 2 to sort of cup that portion of the net to serve as a medium for holding the net to position. The exact shape of this closemesh portion may, of course, be varied to suit requirements of style. These close meshes are conside ably less in size than those of the main body portion to provide the contraction desired.

That edge of the net which is adapted to extend around the back of the head from ear to ear approximately is closer-meshed as at 3 to cup the net down around the curve 1924. Serial No. 725,235.

presented by reason of the more or less close cropping of the hair at this point as indicated in the drawing. The close-mesh here referred to is much smaller than that of the body proper and is only a fraction as large as the close-meshed edge 2.

The structure here described and illustrated in the drawing provides a hair net which i adapted to neatly and effectivelyconfine hair of the various bobbed styles and one which will snugly fit over the hair and be held to the desired position solely because of its structural features and without the need of hairpins or other scouring devices.

The net here disclosed supplies a crying need as the nets now marketed are not suited to use on bobbed hair and can only be used thereon. or even on coiflures of the pre l'mbbcd hair era. by the use of hairpins to position and secure them. Their use therefor. especially on bobbed. hair, is trouble some and undesirable. It should also be ob vious that the use of such nets as are now commonly marketed do not present neat an appearance as the net herein disclosed.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the novel details of construction, manner of use, and advantages of the invention will be apparent.

lVhat I claim is:

A hair net having a body formed of open meshes to conform to the general contour of the human head. and a close-meshed edge portion adapted to extend around the back of the head following-the style of the hair and restricting the lower back portion of the body to cup-tit the hair closely at that point, and a. close-meshed edge portion adapted to extend around the front of the head followin he style of the hair and restricting the adjacent portions of the body to thus coact with the back close-meshed edge in preventing displacement of the net, the said front close-meshed edge extending approximately from ear to car around the front and the said back close-meshed edge extending approximately from ear to ear around the back and being of amesh considerably smaller than that of the front close-meshed edge.
